People are really worried about Barb. Where exactly is Barb anyway? The Stranger Things kids invaded Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show on Wednesday, fresh off the news of the smash hit Netflix series' season 2 renewal, to kinda provide an answer. As this is Fallon's world and we're all just subjects in his never-ending comedy experiment, that "answer" came in the form of parody.
"What the fuck?" Barb, played by Tonight Show head writer A.D. Miles and not Shannon Purser, screamed at everyone's favorite group of TV friends during the parody. "You forget about something? You forget about old Barb? Nancy's friend? Sitting on the diving board, trapped in the fucking Upside Down for the past 2 months?" This take on Barb is, like, really mad. But can you blame her?
Thankfully, series creators Matt and Ross Duffer haven't totally forgotten about Barb. They also seem to have some post-season 1 plans for Dr. Brenner. "Barb will not be forgotten," Matt Duffer toldIGN in August. "We'll make sure there's some justice for Barb. People get very frustrated, understandably, that the town doesn't seem to be really dealing with Barb. That stuff is all happening."
Stranger Things stars Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, and Caleb McLaughlin seemed downright stoked to be on The Tonight Show—and for good reason. The series' hella hyped second season was finally confirmed by Netflix with this title-teasing video Wednesday:
Stranger Things returns for its 9-episode sophomore season in 2017. Will it answer all these questions?
